So my take is that you may or may not have the splash screen problem. If you go to the ford owner website it should tell you if there is a sync update available. It will also have instructions. But the short version is as follows. Download the update to your PC. Take a USB flash drive formatted as a fat32 drive plug into PC. Most come this way. But you may have to if formatted as ntfs or some other file system previously. Extract the update which will be .zip file to the root of the USB drive. After that plug into truck and let it update. If after the final boot you have the raptor screen then your good if not then you will have to patch the raptor boot screen to get hose again. The problem I ran into was when I tried to apply the patch it did not match my system version so I had to modify the install file to apply no matter what version. The code that I applied is quoted in my previous post. Hopefully that clears up some confusion.

Yeah I'm not sure why my splash screen changed but I'm just happy I was able to fix it myself and not have to waste an hour at the dealer for something that took 10 minutes to code and fix.

The splash screen patch is posted in this thread. And then just use the code I posted earlier to replace the contents of the install script file.

Yup, that all makes sense, the short answer is if you follow the instructions step by step, you likely will not have the issue, however, the modified install script basically installs: EA5T-14F496-MA.zip no matter what, so that is where the raptor video file is likely sitting.

I cannot get a log in because it asks for a mobile phone number. I live in belgium so it says the number is not valid. Any suggestions?

Jeff hello I'm in Italy and I have a raptor 2014. Yesterday I installed the sync sw version gen2v38build15128updatepackageNARev2. Also he asked me the phone, but under the windows, there the option, skip telefon. So I upgraded. Try it yourself is easy, and it takes 30 minutes with the engine running.

ciao

With the update from Ford is your MFT still unusable in Europe like before!
The only thing with 3.8 is, Siri speak with you.
You need my conversion. Also older MFT systems (2013/2014) need an update for the GPSM. Often the car is not on the road. GPS shows the off-road. I can fix that!

Thanks for the info. I'm going to get the conversion done by @Auto-Hentzschel next year.
I wanted to do the update because i had a problem with my phone. When i picked up the phone using the mft, most of the time i had to push the privacy button twice to have audio. For some reason, the problem got fixed without doing anything.

Did you get the patch to work? After walking back and forth from my computer to my truck about 10 times I finally figured it out.

Just downloaded and updated straight from 3.6.2 to 3.8, raptor splash stays, no need to patch.
Oooooooh wat?
You downloaded DIRECTLY from the website WITHOUT losing the Raptor Splash screen?????
